Well, she's open and talks about her private life. She's not ashamed, nor should she be. She came out in 2008 and continues to be open. It's refreshing.

Is it really drama if she's openly admitting it? This isn't "gossip" or "drama" at all.

Uh yeah, there's nothing dramatic about what she publicly said.

Well, I guess if you are in your forties and twice divorced you might as well have fun.

She was in "If/Then" and, inspired, clearly decided she wants both If and Then. Why not?

Why does it need to be brought up? Because straight celebrities have talked about their husbands/wives/partners for aeons, so it's nice when someone LGBT steps forward. When Brad talked about Angelina, no one said "Why did this need to be brought up?" And this is not "drama" at all, it's an actor calmly talking about her life.

PS: Michael Portantiere is the new critic at All That Chat, and he's been angrily against certain multi-culti casting. Read the final item in the column for a rebuke.

I like If and Then, but only every now and then, you dig, Auggie Baby?

He's a retrograde thinker and a pretty terrible writer. I don't have a very high opinion of Talkin' Broadway to begin with, but when they announced he was taking over as their main critic, I was a little taken aback. (And yes, I know it's an unpaid position, but still). I know hating on Matthew Murray is basically a pastime around here, but I think people will soon realize that what we've got now is much worse.

And good for Jenn for living authentically and not being afraid to talk about it.

Why would anyone read Talkin' Broadway reviews anyway? Unless you're so desperate for any kind of entertainment commentary, you even watch Andrew/Andrew.

I'm impressed that she has the energy to date three people and do a Broadway show.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

So she's a happy, sweet, talented and promiscuous woman. Good for her. I wonder if she's ever been in love? #TooMuchInformation

Being polyamorous is not the same thing as being promiscuous, and people in poly relationships are perfectly capable of falling in love.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Perfectly stated. Also, shes been married twice, and said that both were great. I don't think she would marry someone (not even legal, so shows even more love) if she didn't love them??

And with the married couple in DC, the time.

At one of my college classes, I was friends with a girl who was in a polygamous relationship.

I wish Jenn all the happiness in the world. She was so sweet to me at the stage door in DC.

Super disappointed in BroadwayWorld on this thread of comments.

Hooray, Jenn.
